RECEPTACLE FOR CARRYING LIQUID GOODS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 500,773, dated July 4:,1893.

Application filed October 21, 1889. Serial No. 327,688. (No model.)Patented in $witzerland July 15, 1889, No. 1,203.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GIUSEPPE PERELLI-MI- NETTI, a subject of the King ofItaly, residing at Barletta, Italy, have invented a new and usefulReceptacle for Carrying Liquid or Semi-Liquid Goods, (for which I haveobtained a patent in Switzerland, dated July 15, 1889, No. 1,203,) ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention includes a collapsible water receptacle formed of sectionsof impervious material stitched together and having means whereby it maybe readily fastened within a suitable wagon or car which is alsospecially adapted to receive it.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of a rectangular form ofreceptacle. Figs. 2 and 3 are views of the cover and receptaclerespectively, as detached from each other. Figs. 3 and 3 are views ofthe receptacle in place within the wagon or car. Fig. 3 is a view of aportion of the receptacle and cover with the latter in place and readyto be secured by strings passing through the loops. Fig. 3 is a detailsectional view showing how the cover and receptacle are secured togetherby the cords passing through the adjacent loops. Fig. 3 is a detail viewof the joint. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are views of difierent forms ofrectangular receptacles. Fig. 6 is a detail view. Fig. 7 is a detailview of a detached portion of the receptacle. Fig. 8 shows the manner ofpacking the receptacles on a cart, said receptacles being of differentform from those shown in the previous figures. Figs. 9 and 10 are viewsof other forms of rectangular receptacles. Fig. 11 shows differentcollapsible receptacles in the general form of a bottle. Figs. 12, 13,14 and 15 are modified forms of the receptacle.

All the figures present the common feature of a collapsible receptaclemade up of sections of flexible material (1, preferably of stout linenor other impervious material joined to each other by stitches a. Theseams or joints are preferably covered by reinforcing strips 0., asshown in Fig. 3*", this forming an ordinary lapped seam or joint. Ringsas are provided around the upper edge of the receptacle, preferably atthe joints as shown, and at the corners, and by means of these rings,the receptacle can be secured within the wagon or car A", as shown inFigs. 3 and 3 which wagon or car has the hooks 10 on its inner walls.The cover B for the receptacle as shown in Fig.2 has projectingflanges 1) adapted to fit down inside the receptacle and it has also therings or loops 11, corresponding in position to the rings of thereceptacle, so that when the cover is put in place, the flanges fitwithin the receptacle walls and the rings come together to be socured bysuitable sealing strings 12, as in Fig. 3.

The receptacle may be filled through the necks A A, Fig. 1, instead ofhaving to remove the cover B.

A discharge tube Y is provided near the bottom of the receptacle andthis is flexible, so that when not in use it may be bent up as shown inFig. 1, and sealed to prevent the escape of the contents of thereceptacle. After the receptacle is emptied it may be detached from thecar, collapsed and packed for transportation.

Itwill be seen that by reason of the flexibility of the receptacle, therings a, situated along the upper edges and especially at the corners,serves an important purpose in holding the receptacle always in properdist-ended condition without regard to whether it is full or nearlyempty.

The section a, as shown in Fig. 6 is preferably made up of a series oflayers of linen stitched together as before described, and in order toform the neck for the introduction of the water, the inner layer may becarried out through an opening to form the neck A.

In Fig. 11 the receptacle is shown in the form of a demijohn or bottle,and it is made up of flexible sections a, stitched at ct, and it has theattaching means in the form of perforated projections d, which serve thesame purpose as the rings first described for holding the demijohndistended and of securing it in place. This form also has a projectingneck portion g, formed by a protruding part of the lining.

Figs. 12, 13, 14 and 15 show various forms of receptacle made up ofsections stitched together and collapsible.

In Fig. 8 is shown the manner of packing 5 the filled receptacles ofFig. 12 for transportation.

I claim as my invention- A collapsible receptacle formed of flexiblesections secured together, the rings arranged about the receptacle, thecover and the rings 10 thereon corresponding to the rings on thereceptacle, substantially as described.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twoWitnesses.
